Multilevel BOMs

• BOM type (field BOMALTTYP)

Select Manufacturingif you manufacture this bill of materials (BOM). If it is procured from a subcontractor select Subcontracting. This field is not available for selection if you have accessed this function directly from the Production BOMs or Sub-contracting BOMs function.

• Storage site (field STOFCY)

Use this field to define the storage site (warehouse).

The site defined on the user record is displayed by default but can be amended.

 A storage site has the check box Stock (Details tab) selected.

• Parent product (field PARITMREF)

This parent product code describes what is referred to as a "Bill of Materials" or a "BOM". A BOM contains structured information for making and costing a product. It defines the components that make up a product, and given this, the cost of the product.

The parent product code is a stock code. It is the assembly or finished goods code.

• Code (field BOMALT)

Multiple bills of materials (BOMs) can be defined for a single product. Each BOM code can be assigned specific management features. For manufactured or subcontracted products this includes restriction of the BOM to a specific site and to specific areas of functionality (for costing or for capacity planning).

• Reference date (field DATREF)

The reference date is used to select the products according to their validity start date and end date.
The entry of a date dated 00/00/00 is used to select all the products irrespective of their validity date.

 The reference date cannot be equal to zero or be earlier than the current date.

• Major version (field VBOGECCMAJ)

This field indicates which version of this product applies. Major versions might be used where there have been increased or significant changes in functionality.

To view the details of a different version of this product type in, or select a version code from the list of version codes displayed. This field is not available for entry if the product code defined in the Parent product field is not version managed.

• Minor version (field VBOGECCMIN)

This field indicates which minor version of this product applies. Minor versions might be used where there have been minor features or changes in functionality, or significant fixes applied to a specific major version.

To view the details of a different version of this product type in, or select a version code from the list of version codes displayed. This field is not available for entry if the product code defined in the Parent product field is not version managed.

• Description (field BOMDES)

This field specifies the BOM description.

• Stock unit (field BOMSTU)

This field displays the unit for the parent product, as defined on the Stock record. It cannot be amended.

• Management unit (field QTYCOD)

The management unit defines the quantity of the BOM links using a basis other than the product unit.
A BOM can therefore be entered for 1 product unit, 100 product units, 1,000 product units, using a percentage or specifying the size of a "lot".
In the percentage definition, the total link quantities must be equal to 100.
The management unit selected determines if the Base quantity field (BASQTY) is initialized or available for entry.

• Base qty (field BASQTY)

Entry of a base quantity is determined by the defined Management unit, as follows:

• In effect, if the management unit is expressed for 1 unit, for 100 units or for 1000 units the base quantity is forced to 1, 100 or 1000 units respectively.
• If the management unit is expressed as a percentage, the base quantity is 100 units.
• If the management unit is expressed for a "lot" you specify the base quantity. However, if the selected BOM code is assigned to a site, the base quantity is initialized for the lot size for this product for that site.
  
  

• Validity start date (field BOHSTRDAT)

The BOM header shows validity start and end dates.
If the start date is not entered, it means that the BOM is valid for a date prior to the end date.
If the end date is not entered, it means that the BOM is valid for a date greater than the start date.
Validity dates are also associated with the links. They are initialized according to the dates in the header and must be within this date range.

• Version start date (field ECCSTRDAT)

This field displays the start date of the displayed version's (major and minor) validity period.

• Version end date (field ECCENDDAT)

This field displays the final date of the displayed version’s validity period. This field is blank if the displayed version is the current, or active version.

• Use status (field LIBUSESTA)

This field indicates the assembly status of this BOM. This field will be set to one of the following values:

• In development, whilst the components that make up the product are being defined.
• Available to use, if the structure of the bill (BOM) is complete and has been validated.

 A BOM can only be assigned to work orders when its status is Available to use.

• Component (field CPNITMREF)

This field displays the component product code.

• Component (field GRPITMREF)

• Sequence (field BOMSEQ)

This field identifies the sequence number of this component in this BOM (bill of materials). It identifies a component where multiple components with the same product code are defined as variants or options.

The BOMSTE - Component sequence increment parameter (TC chapter, BOM group) defines the first sequence number and the increment applied to subsequent component sequence numbers.

• Description 1 (field DES1AXX)

This long description is used as a title in screens and reports.

By default the short title, the long title or the column header of a data are recorded (on creation/update) in the connection language of the user.
You can add your translation in another language using the Translation function:

• Click Translation from the Actions icon in the corresponding field.
• In the Translation window, add a new language code with the translation in this language.

A user who logs on with this language will view the short description, long description or column header in their connection language if a translation exists. Otherwise, these descriptions will be available in the folder language.

The connection language must be defined as a default language for thefolder.

• Link quantity (field LIKQTY)

This field displays the quantity of this component in the stock unit that is needed to make the parent product. The default quantity is calculated from the entered quantity using the UOM-STK coefficient (field BOMSTUCOE). You can amend it if necessary.

The sum of the link quantity of each component must equal 100 if the defined management unit (field QTYCOD) for this BOM is Percentage.

 By-products are excluded from the total percentage calculations.

• Stock unit (field STU)

This field indicates the product management unit in which are expressed:

• The stock
• The standard price
• The BOM link quantity, etc.

This information is always displayed, regardless of the transaction used. It cannot be modified.
